- Madrid have netted 16 times and shipped just three goals in their last four LaLiga fixtures. The last time they conceded more than once in a match was back on 13 February, in the 4-2 victory at home to Athletic Club.
Don't leave Barcelona without… wandering around the picturesque Park Guell, which boasts UNESCO World Heritage status. There can be few better things to do in the run-up to the big game than soaking up the beauty of its landscaped gardens and marvelling at Antoni Gaudi's feats of architectural extravagance.
